hi ive just had a call from a cpm at the office - they rang me at home so i could not screen the call as i would on a mobile. they asked me whether or not i planned to operate on the strike day as i am rostered to do so i said that i was undecided and would be consulting with colleauges on my next flight. They were absolutely fine with this and did not try to pressure me into giving a direct answer however slightly concerned that people will be put on the spot as i was when the call arrives and what grounds they hold people to if they say oh yes i am working or whether you say no im not and then a mark goes against your name to blacklist you and prevent any future progression with the company. Surely if they were given the option of promoting 2 ppl they would look back and say oh yes they operated over the strike therefore they get promoted. this may be the cynic in me but do not all companies operate in this way?
